    Just checked Harley's own insurance ( Carole Nash run) guess what , in the small print, Motorcycle requires to have MOT'd if applicable!

    You only need an MOT if you put the vehicle on a public highway ... and you don't even need it then if it is solely for the purposes of travelling directly to/from a pre-arranged MOT.

    Try footman james.
    I sang CNs praises for years until I bought a rare as hell spanish bike and was told ''1983?'' not a classic, so you can't add it on, you can't have agreed value either, you'll need another policy.

    Yes, I did need another policy, and !!!!ed off to FJ and stayed there!
    Unless specifically stated all posts by me are my own considered opinion.
    If you don't like my opinion feel free to respond with your own.

    That's why Carole Nash wouldn't touch it, because he told them it'd been converted so it failed their "no modifications" rule :p

    Some might - they have no legal entitlement to demand to see it but its also their right to refuse a service if they don't see it.
